There's a big GOP field but all the crops suck.

1. This seems to be changing hourly
So I'll wait to hear what fatso himself has to say, rather than some pissant reporter.

2. "my sworn obligation to Fox" - is Murdoch running the Mafia, or a church, now?
Why on earth did he swear an obligation to Fox?

6. So does he quit his television show?
Or does he continue and get to use it as campaign advertising.

7. Pretty sure it would be illegal for him to have a television show
while running for President, wouldn't it? Even if it's not, it certainly makes him a villain in the court of public opinion.

9. He could have one...
but if he did, Fox would have to give each declared candidate for president, plus the incumbent, a show of equal length under the same conditions because just running the Huckabee show would amount to political advertising and there are rules about that. And they have to be in time slots of similar desirability--no running "The Newt Gingrich Show" at three in the morning.

Can you possibly imagine Rupert Murdoch paying President Obama to broadcast a show on Fox News?

11. Tell us about your dog killing, son, Huckster!
Details, details, details. However did he learn such behavior, Mr. Minister? What kind of values have you taught your children?
